Sentimental items. They are the things we keep because they have meaning to us. They are imbued with memories. Or perhaps they don’t mean a lot to us, but they belonged to a family member and remind us of that person.

Of course we should surround ourselves with things that have meaning to us, but when sentimental items become clutter because of how much we’re keeping (and where we’re keeping it- typically in dusty boxes), we need to really evaluate what we have any why.

Today we chat about 3 mindset hacks that will help make decluttering sentimental items easier. If you need help with yours, make sure to join us in our free Facebook group! We are doing a 30-day decluttering challenge to help you declutter before the end of 2022.
